Technique!!!!! Not force. Once you learn the proper technique, this will be a non-issue. If you don't have the proper technique, it can be a fight.
The FJR is a relatively easy bike to get on its centerstand. I learned to centerstand a bike on a Concours, which is a hell of a lot harder. Here's my suggestion for getting it up on the centerstand from when I learned on the Connie: While using the instructions from the people above, in your mind imagine the bike going backwards, not up. In other words, imagine you are trying to move the bike backwards and NOT lifting it. This made things much easier for me.
Good luck!
Oh yeah, fyi: in internet lingo, WRITING USING ALL CAPS is the equivalent of SHOUTING.
